Can pour shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Hazy, pale gold, no sparkle, head or lacing. Aroma is salt, tart fruit, dark fruit. Taste is strong tangy, tart fruit, salt. Smooth texture, thin body, soft carbonation and finish as taste. OK.

16 oz can. Aroma is sour grapefruit with some salinity. Mild lactic acid with grapefruit and citrus rind. Flavor has a salt amount of Parker in the glands. It is ok.

Can (4/2/24) pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Hazy gold with nice sparkle, large head with good retention and splotchy soapy lacing. Aroma is strong grapefruit and pine with hint of late floral and citrus. Taste is initial floral followed by strong bitter pine resin over malt. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Description seems current but experience is old school. Meh.

16 oz. can from the brewery. Aroma is floral and pineapple hints. Flavor follows with mild pine like bitterness. It’s a pretty decent expression of Galaxy hops. Decent for the gravity.

Pretty difficult-to-read date on the can, maybe 7/24/23, drunk 8/26/23. Hazy brass-copper, large, off-white head, moderate retention. Passion fruit and light salinity, with reasonably mellow lactic acid and light cracker and biscuit from the malt and wheat. Good attenuation, it seems and clean. Thin, seltzery, watery, cheap lactic acid with pleasant passion fruit-like puree. Just so thin and lactic. Dumped after a few sips.
